Senators hold annual development camp, presented by Sport Chek, from July 1 to July 7

All five picks from the 2014 NHL Draft will participate

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 30, 2014) - The Ottawa Senators (@Senators) announced today the schedule and list of 34 players attending the team's annual development camp, presented by Sport Chek, which will take place from Tuesday, July 1, to Monday, July 7, at Canadian Tire Centre and the Bell Sensplex. The club has invited five goaltenders, 11 defencemen and 18 forwards. Each of the camp's on-ice sessions will be open to the public.

The club's five selections from the 2014 NHL Draft, held this past weekend in Philadelphia, will attend this year's camp. Fans will get their first chance to welcome Andreas Englund, a defencemen from Sweden and Djurgardens' program who the Senators selected with their first selection of the weekend (40th overall).

Due to overwhelming seating demand, the annual evening scrimmage (5-on-5) will take place at the Kanata Recreation Complex (100 Walter Baker Place) for the first time on Friday, July 4, at 6:45 p.m. The scrimmage gives the Senators' prospects the opportunity to showcase their talent in a game like setting (two 20-minute periods), while allowing fans the chance to see the future of the hockey club up-close. Following the scrimmage, Senators season-seat owners will be invited back to Canadian Tire Centre for an exclusive meet and greet opportunity with the prospects and a management hotstove session on the arena floor.
